Beyonce Blindsided by #BlackLivesMatter Stunt


Beyonce made a bold statement with her racially charged performance during this year's Super Bowl halftime show [click here if you missed that] but apparently one message she did not intend to send...

From The Daily Mail
It was a grainy cellphone video and a picture that were seen by millions around the world.
But the full story of how Beyoncé was unwittingly dragged into a political row after having her Super Bowl performance hijacked by her dancers and activists can be revealed.
The star knew nothing about the decision by members of her dance troupe to join a protest by members of the Black Lives Matters organization on the pitch of the Levi's Stadium about the death of Mario Jones until the video went viral the next morning.
Two determined political activists, angered over the shooting of the man by police, smuggled a dozen posters into the arena in their underwear and bags.
Only one was handed, however, to several of the dancers who raised it and shouted slogans demanding 'Justice for Mario Woods'.
Beyoncé's dancers backed calls for murder charges to be brought against five officers who gunned down former jail bird Woods,26, at exactly the moment that the star was ushered off by her security guards.
